Today, the beauty of the Golden Circle awaits. Our first visit is Thingvellir National Park, where we’ll walk between the European and American tectonic plates. En route to The Great Geysir, we’ll stop at a geothermal bakery for a unique culinary experience highlighting how the local community harnesses the region’s natural resources. Next, take in the stunning Strokkur Geyser and Old Geyser, witnessing the power of Iceland’s geothermal landscape. Our last stop of the day is the iconic Golden Waterfall, Gullfoss—an unforgettable sight. We arrive this evening at our countryside hotel—the perfect location for catching the northern lights! But, before we go hunting for the aurora borealis, perhaps partake in a “Dessert and Chat” to bond over shared Girl Scout memories! (b, d)

This morning, we’ll head out to the eerily beautiful Skógafoss Waterfall, one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland. Get up close and feel its power or climb a long, but rewarding, stairway to an incredible viewpoint. Next, we’ll continue along Iceland's south shore to take in more of the country’s renowned natural wonders. From the stepping-stone rock formations of Reynisdrangar to the promontory of Dyrhólaey and the black sand beach of Reynisfjara, the south shore is one of the country's most scenic regions. In the afternoon, we’ll visit the famous Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, a stunning sea of floating icebergs whose sapphire hues contrast with the charcoal-colored sand of the beach. When we stop for the night at a farm stay on the south coast, weather permitting, we’ll have another opportunity to step outside and witness the natural wonders of the northern lights. (b)

Today, we’ll take a walk on Europe's biggest ice cap, Vatnajökull, which has around 30 glaciers flowing out from it. If you would like, you can embark on a hike to the glacier's tongue or return to the glacier lagoon at Jökulsárlón or Fjallsárlón. No experience is necessary for this hike. If you prefer a relaxing morning, you can explore the surroundings of the farm stay and head to The Thorbergur centre. Afterward, we’ll continue our journey to the black sand seaside town of Vík. With the sea on one side and high cliffs on the other, this quaint village is Iceland's most southern mainland settlement. (b)

This morning, we’ll make our way to the beautiful Seljalandsfoss Waterfall before heading back to Reykjavik. Upon our return, take a guided walk of Reykjavik, where we’ll visit the old harbor, the city center, and the famous Hallgrímskirkja Church. Iceland’s capital has a robust arts and music scene, an abundance of quirky cafes, and a laid-back vibe. Perhaps browse some of the city’s great art galleries. If you haven’t had enough of the northern lights yet, you could head out of town to chase them again this evening or unwind by soaking in a local geothermal spa. Tonight, celebrate the end of this whirlwind trip with a closing ceremony. (b)

Our Icelandic adventure ends today with an included group transfer to the Reykjavik airport. (b)
